Chained To The Rhythm (Spanish Version)

Kevin & Karla's 'Chained To The Rhythm (Spanish Version)' is a powerful commentary on modern society's tendency to live in a state of comfortable ignorance. The song opens with a critique of people who are 'living behind a lens,' suggesting that they are so absorbed in their own curated realities that they fail to see the larger issues at hand. The repeated phrase 'viviendo cómodos y muy confiados' (living comfortably and very confidently) underscores the complacency that the artists believe is prevalent in society. This complacency is depicted as a form of entrapment, where people are 'chained to the rhythm' of their daily routines and distractions.

The chorus, with its call to 'Súbelo' (turn it up) and 'ba-ba-baila en la distorsión' (dance in the distortion), serves as a metaphor for the superficial ways people try to escape their realities. The 'lentes rosa' (rose-colored glasses) symbolize the willful ignorance that allows people to ignore pressing issues. The song urges listeners to stop acting like 'tonto zombies' (foolish zombies) and to wake up to the realities around them. This call to action is a plea for awareness and change, encouraging people to break free from their self-imposed chains and to see the world as it truly is.

In the bridge, the song takes a more direct approach, calling out the lies and greed of those in power. The lyrics 'En sus altos cargos mintiendo' (in their high positions, lying) and 'La codicia los corroe' (greed corrodes them) highlight the systemic issues that contribute to societal complacency. The artists call for a revolution, urging people to 'Despierten leones y vamos' (wake up lions and let's go). This powerful imagery serves as a rallying cry for collective action and societal change. By the end of the song, the repeated phrase 'Estamos unidos al ritmo' (we are united to the rhythm) transforms from a symbol of entrapment to one of unity and collective strength, suggesting that true freedom comes from awareness and action.
